The Banker’s Bank of the Year awards are now in their 15th year. No one could have imagined the roller-coaster ride the industry was going to embark on when we started out at the beginning of a new century with our first awards process.

Whatever is going on in the markets, however, and whatever misdemeanours and mistakes are committed by a few bankers and banks, the vast majority are working hard to improve their products and services for customers and their returns for shareholders.
It is this silent majority that we want to recognise and reward in The Banker’s Bank of the Year awards. And judging by the stock of 500-plus entries we received in contention for this year’s 149 country awards, plus regional and global awards, the creative juices in banking can truly be said to be flowing.
In answer to our questions about multi-channel strategies, community projects and competitive challenges, we received a wealth of initiatives and ideas that will ensure banking remains a healthy industry for years to come.
The idea that banking is yesterday’s industry with the true trailblazing coming from the tech sector is completely wrong. Banks are rising to the challenges of technology and social accountability with gusto. The challenge has been to pick winners out of the many strong entries.
But pick winners we did, and invited them to join us for a black-tie dinner in London in late November as well as providing them with the write-ups that follow. Congratulations to all of them.
